I want to ask a few questions to follow up on the issue. On the exact point made, Mr. O'Sullivan said about 4% of the 1,200 cases were appealed and that 70% to 80%, or three quarters, do not proceed to a hearing. Therefore, one quarter of the 4% go to a hearing. Therefore, 1% end up in a hearing. I believe I saw a figure today indicating the cases proceeding to appeals represented a reduction of only about 0.4% in the rates bill of the relevant authority. Am I right? It is something like that.
